Birthplace of Singapore Sling, colonial vibe, litter peanut shells
"At the iconic Raffles Hotel’s Long Bar I encountered the birthplace of the boozy Singapore Sling, a historic spot that still tends to hog cocktail headlines even as hotel bars broaden their offerings to include carefully crafted zero-proof options." - ByAdam Erace
"As soon as we dropped our bags, we headed straight to Raffles to visit the historic Long Bar, where the Singapore Sling was born—a frothy, sweet pink drink topped with pineapple that’s considered the national drink of Singapore. In a city that is otherwise sparkling clean, the floor here is littered with peanut shells from the bags of peanuts that await you when you sit down, and I definitely contributed to the piles—the salty peanuts pair perfectly with the tropical sweetness of Singapore’s namesake drink." - Katie Henwood
"Timeless International Award: Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel Singapore — Singapore" - Clair Lorell
"Getting a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar, where it was invented, is so much fun."
"Long Bar in the Raffles Singapore hotel is iconic: It's the original home of the Singapore Sling and still makes the best version of the cocktail in Singapore. But it's so iconic that the crowd is made up almost exclusively of tourists, here to snap a pic of their Sling and gleefully throw peanut shells on the floor of probably the only place in the country it's legal to litter. The whole hotel, Long Bar included," - Naren Young
